degrees were earned outside of the United States, are required. Copies of unofficial transcripts, student

records or grade reports are not acceptable.

•

Letters of Recommendation: Submittal of three (3) letters of recommendation is required. This requirement is

in addition to listing a minimum of three (3) professional references in the application form. Persons you list in

the application may also provide letters of recommendation.

Copies of State Credentials or Credential Program Enrollment: Please submit a copy of a current, valid

credential or evidence if available. If you are not credentialed, please submit evidence, if any, of enrollment in

a credential program. A California preliminary or clear, single or multiple subject teaching credential is required

years of employment as a teacher. Teachers hired with out-of-state credentials will be required to obtain a

California teaching credential within five (5) years of employment as a teacher.

When all of this documentation has been received in our office, your application materials will be scanned and

made available to school principals in a secure, web-based database. As openings occur, principals will contact

applicants directly to assess mutual interest. Teacher applicants are encouraged to update their application

information throughout the year, so that the Diocese has the most up-to-date information on their qualifications.

Teacher applicants remain active in the database for the current school year. We ask that you please notify us of

any changes in your availability or status. In January/February of each year, the Human Resources Office will send

an e-mail inquiry to teacher applicants to assess their interest in remaining a teacher applicant for the next school

year. Teacher applicants wishing to remain active year-to-year must respond to this inquiry.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Human Resources Office by e-mail at

or by

telephone at (408) 983-0149.
